  1. 15:42 A bit flabbergasted to hear this view of how things were in the 70-90's. It is fantasy. Most businesses ran package software and hired people to maintain it. If you did get the chance to write something from scratch, it became your lifetime responsibility because management was frightened by it. The first question was always "what is everybody else doing?". Not "how can we solve this problem?". I am speaking from first hand experience. I wonder what books gave you such an impression. Open software was a response to package software.
